Re: Illegal filename character mapping?

The problem is, though, how to recognize that "/" is a part of a folder name rather than a separator between a folder and sub-folder. This is not a trivial task to implement. A file system processor in R-Studio should specifically warn other modules that they should substitute "/" with something ...

Re: Illegal filename character mapping?

Oh, and I think the problem may be partly that the "/" I'm running into is in a DIRECTORY name, not a FILE name.

When saving directories or folders with "/", Windows splits such names into folders and sub-folders. That is, if the file is stored in the folder "one/two", it will appear in the sub ...

Re: Illegal filename character mapping?

The 4.0 didn't have an advanced tab. I did try downloading the latest version, and it DOES substitute "$" but seems to ignore whatever I tell it in the advanced tab (that is, I cannot sub "!" or anything else), and it still generates errors for each file. Then there is a copy of the file like __27 ...

Re: Illegal filename character mapping?

I thing the best way is to try it. You may install the new version in the Demo mode, create a small file (less than 64 k) with those characters and try to save it to an NTFS disk.

Wow, I had thought a support person would know. If I have to test it, I have to install a demo version, attach a Mac ...

Illegal filename character mapping?

Okay, I have RStudio 4.0 (not the network version). Love it. Use it all the time.

From time to time, I recover data from a Mac machine (mostly HFS+). But my target (where I store the files) is typically NTFS.

Sometimes I run into a problem where people have been using characters in filenames that ...
